Will you share your food (serious question)

[ErGingerbreadMandude]

So.. A huge natural calamity has struck the whole world.. People are recovering but very slowly.. Price of food and water is through the roof..

You work very hard each day to barely get by and stuff but you still manage to eat a meal at the end of the day. You saved part of your two whole week pay little by little to buy a ice cream, and you do.. You walk out the store and notice two people laying down on the side of the streets as if they're dead and they're begging you for food.. Now remember, you don't really need this ice-cream of yours but those starving people do BUT you still worked for it, so these are all factors

What will you do? Like, will you share your food or keep it to yourself? The flip side of sharing is ofc you only get a PART of something whole that YOU worked for and they didn't..

If they ask, yes, I most probably would share. I've done it before anyway.

So! There is a huge calamity which has struck the whole world but we receive a paycheck every two weeks?

In fact, the question works the same without invoking any world-wide crisis, lol.

I only share my food with people I find sexually attractive.

Post apocalypse me might be a bit of a bitch and ice cream is life but eh if they're gonna die I might as well give them a bit of life before they die. (wut)

The question is similar to Peter Singer's drowning child argument.

I'd fatten them up and then it's off to the larder with them tbh.

[Thumpalumpacus]

In most cases, yeah, I'd share something. In a few particular cases, I might just sit down and start munching away ... staring deadpan at them all the while.

But I do.
